Hayley William Drops 17 New Songs for 20-Year Debut Anniversary
It's a good week for those of us who pledge allegiance to pop-punk queen Hayley Williams. The Grammy winner just surprise-dropped 17 new songs on her website, which is only accessible with a password sent to email subscribers of her hair dye company, Good Dye Young.
Tracks like ' and ' are now displayed on a 2000s-inspired PC backdrop on her website, along with a 'Misc.' folder containing never-before-seen footage of a 2017 Phoenix concert in Monterrey, an unreleased merch mock-up, handwritten lyrics, and a sweet message from a small child who says, 'I'm sorry you're going through something hard.'
Hayley hasn't said anything about her surprise music drop on any of her social channels, but she did share the latest Good Dye Young product with a video featuring her unreleased song, 'Mirtazapine.'
Oh, and she also performed 'Mirtazapine' live at the Newport Folk Festival on July 25, as captured by a fan.
The slew of solo songs comes days after her band, Paramore, issued a deluxe version of their debut album, All We Know Is Falling, to celebrate its 20th anniversary. The beloved pop-punk band also dropped its first-ever digital release of The Summer Tic EP, which was originally released as a CD in 2006.
It's unclear whether these new songs make up an album or are meant to be standalone tracks. Either way, they officially join Hayley's colorful repertoire of hits from her Paramore days and beyond.
